Why Texas Tech can cover
Texas Tech is going to be motivated after its disappointing loss to Wyoming last week. The Red Raiders jumped out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, with senior quarterback Tyler Shough throwing a pair of touchdown passes. He finished with 338 yards and three touchdowns, completing 31 of 47 attempts.
Sophomore wide receiver Jerand Bradley led the team with eight receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown, while senior Myles Price caught six passes for 65 yards and a score. The Red Raiders beat Oklahoma and Texas last season, giving them momentum heading into this season. They have covered the spread in four of their last five games and have won six of their last seven home games.
Why Oregon can cover
The Red Raiders are going to have trouble slowing down an Oregon offense that put up a school-record 81 points last week. Senior quarterback Bo Nix completed 23 of 27 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns, sitting out in the fourth quarter against Portland State. Junior running back Bucky Irving racked up 119 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just four carries, while sophomore Jordan James had 86 yards and three scores on 10 attempts.
Junior wide receiver Troy Franklin and sophomore wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. both cracked the 100-yard receiving mark in last week's game. Texas Tech was outscored 20-3 in the final three quarters of regulation at Wyoming before losing in double overtime. Oregon has won 12 of its last 13 games in September and has covered the spread in seven of its last 10 games. See which team to pick here.
